Madam:
I have to advise you that from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim R. 3523 it appears that on April 29, 1854 Barbara Bixler a resident of Limestone Township, Lycoming County, Pennsylvania, aged sixty-seven years, applied for pension as the only living child of Baltzer, or Balson, Fetterhoff. It was alleged that he was drafted in Bethel  Seithel Township (which was later in Lebanon County) Pennsylvania and served as a teamster in the Revolution, and that he died about 1835, or 1836, or 1837, his age not stated.
The claim was not allowed as she failed to furnish proof of any military service as required by the pension laws.
Respectfully,
WINFIELD SCOTT Commissioner.
